The shapes of legs are diverse. There are two main types of leg thickness, one is fat legs; the other is muscular legs. These two types of legs look similar from a distance, but the methods for slimming them are different. So how do you think we can distinguish muscle legs from fat legs? Let’s go take a look below!
The difference between fat legs and muscular legs
The difference between fat legs and muscular legs can be felt by hand. In fact, many of them can be seen directly. In fact, the method of distinguishing muscle legs and fat legs is very simple. You only need to look and touch to figure it out. First of all, if you look at it with your eyes, those with obvious curves and no edges are fat legs. Those with no obvious curves and sharp edges are muscular legs. In addition, if you touch it with your hands, tighten the leg muscles. Those that feel soft and can be easily kneaded are fat legs. , the ones that feel as hard as iron are the muscular legs.
1. The feeling of pinching the legs is different
The easiest way is to pinch with your hands. On the human calf, the muscles play a role in wrapping the body bones. It plays a role in supporting body movements. Muscles are strong and flexible tissues. It is generally not easy to pinch them with your hands. If you pinch your calves with your hands, you can easily pinch a ball of meat. And it feels very painful when pinched. At this time, the proportion of muscle is relatively small, and on the contrary, the proportion of fat is relatively high. This is a typical fat leg. If it is not easy to pinch when you pinch it with your hands, or if it is very flexible when pinched, then it is more likely that it is a muscular leg.
2. Different causes
Muscular legs can only be formed by long-term physical training. Usually daily exercise will not form truly muscular calves. Fatty legs are caused by excess body fat caused by obesity, causing the legs to look fleshy and soft.
3. Different tissues
Muscle cells are a type of lean tissue that help the body burn excess calories, so muscle legs are also lean tissue, and Fat legs are not lean tissue.
